A CHICAGO BUDGET
OF News Items Gathered on a Hot
Day

Ddy.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1O.-The high cOnven-
ton of the Ancient Order of Foresters
now meeting here, began work in earn
est to-day. The report of the committee
on credentials showed 3i3 of the dele
gates present entitled to vote. Much of
the time to-day was consumed in the ap-
pOintment of the numerous standing
committees to act during the session.
In seven hours to-day the temperature
in this city rose 20 degrees. -
The American Philatelic association
talked about stamps, looked at stamps
and traded stamps at their convention
several hours this morning. At 10
o'clock the association left the head
quarters and went to the photograph
ers, where group picture was taken.
On their return in business session
they listened to the reports OF several
committee and adopted changes of
their constitution in compliance with
the resolution adopted yesterday pro-
viding for the establishment of an Off
cial stamp collectors paper, to be pub
lished weekly by the society.
An unknown and partially intoxicated
man made an attempt to swim to the
government pier to-day. When out
about three-fourths of the distance he
was seen to cease swimming and float
idly about on the waves, Three or
four of the strongest young swimmers
on the shore SWAIN out and tOWed him
to the shore, and discovered that he was
dead. In his pocket card was found
belonging to Horse ShOers' union No.
4, made out to John 3. McMahon.
Scattering prairie fires have prevail
ed in the southwestern suburbs to-day,
from the Grand Trunk to the North
western railway, doing considerable
damage to sidewalks and other prop
erty.
